How I Used Instagram to Travel the World.

Follow the travelers, they’ll show you where to go!

2014 was, for me, a year of travel. I hit the road with a friend and had the chance to do a worldtour: I visited 12 countries.When I started to plan this trip I had a few ideas of where to go. But I noticed that my choices were actually not entirely natural.

For the past 2 years, I’ve have been using Instagram a lot to share pictures but mainly to discover.

What profiles did I suscribed to? Yes, you guessed it, travelers.Hear me out, it wasn’t planned, I just suscribed naturally, weeks after weeks, to all these people: world travelers, city explorers, curious photographers…

And, just like this, my timeline was full of new places to discover…

My itinerary was mostly planned with places I discovered digitally and that I was eager to see by myself. So I did it.

Most of the time when I arrived in a country I had no idea what to visit or what to see. That’s why I went back on Instagram to do something new for me on the app and get inspiration.

The process was quite simple:1. Get to a city2. Open Instagram & explore the # name of this city3. Find places and lost myself there4. Move my ass outside5. Enjoy

It was now my turn to share my discoveries!

Instagram could be used for a thousands reasons, I found mine. I use it to travel, whether I’m on the road or at my flat kitchen table, the app opened on my phone!
